/ You have been rewarded with 5 gift points for doing a good deed: helping out a nemesis/"Hmm, this seems to be the only thing I do now,". Tristan scoffed as he made his way back to the office./It is one thing you are good at/"Oh well, it doesn't matter, I only assist people who are interested in having a meaningful life, not ones who are ready to waste time, by the way, my mom is still not talking about adopting anyone, can I at least suggest to her because if I don't tell her about it, she might never think in that direction and I'll end up failing this task."/Make no suggestions regardless of the circumstances/" Sigh."~~~~~~~Day2~~~~~~~Unlike the day before, Max sent a letter to the orphanage to be visited, following Tristan's instructions, and it was included in the message that the manager must be present.Later in the evening of the previous day, Max alongside Tristan's mother had gone to shop for the orphanage, and the purchase ended with two huge trucks of clothes, sh
"Good day Mr. Coleman," the manager of the orphanage approached Tristan with a welcoming smile, the man was of average height, dark-skinned with a long beard that needed shaving.Shaking his hand, Tristan responded,"Nice to meet you, I must say that you have taken care of this place," Tristan commended him, having observed the surroundings, however, the entrance alone was not enough to prove how well this orphanage home was being taken care of."It's more of an honor for me, Mr. Coleman, please let's go to my office, where you can have a seat and relax _" I don't have to do any of that," Tristan interjected," I won't be spending much time, except my mother makes me," he added and that was when the manager acknowledged Tristan's mother's presence by extending his hand for a handshake with a slight bow." It's such an honor to meet you, mam, welcome, " he said and in response, Tristan's mother reacted with a broad smile and said," It's my pleasure."" Alright sir, if that is what you
Walking out of the room, they headed for the academic section of the facility. Through a hallway and out a door, the school environment slowly revealed itself, a line of classrooms with a poster at the door to tell what grade.It looked just like a normal school environment and it's hard to tell that it was inside an orphanage home.The manager knocked gently on a classroom door."Come in!" The voice of a lady replied from inside the classroom.The manager opened the door and walked in, with Tristan and his mother from behind."Good morning Mr Philips," the children greeted in unison."Good morning children," he retorted with a smile, the teacher stood up from where she was seated and proceeded to greet Tristan and his mother with a welcoming smile."Alright children, this is Mr. Coleman, say good morning." The manager said and in response, the kids did as they were asked to."Good morning kids, how are you doing today?" Tristan inquired to which they all replied saying that they were
Tristan's eyes widened in shock, this was one step ahead of completing his task, he wasn't against his mother's choice for one bit because he also thought that Ariana was not a bad option. "We will have to discuss that mam, it involves a lot of procedures," the manager responded with a smile, "We can't just give out our children like that, we need to be sure of a lot of things and get some documents signed before they are adopted."" She didn't say she wanted to take her home immediately, of course, we will go through all the procedures," Tristan interjected." I understand sir, it'll only take one or two days to complete the processes, it's just for legal reasons, else I believe you are capable sir," the manager added, just to prove that he was doing everything accordingly."There is no problem, we can resume the process afterward," Tristan added and soon, there was a loud ring through the hallway."Recess," the manager uttered with a sigh, even before he could finish, the children
"She talked to me," Tristan's mother kept reminding herself even while they were already out of the orphanage home and inside the car. The thought of having Ariana around her daily was driving her insane and she couldn't wait for the adoption process to be over.As for Tristan, while his mother was making friends with the little girl, he was discussing with the manager, which ended with the usual statement,"send me the orphanage home's account details,"Once that was done, he made the transfer of one million dollars as per the system's instructions, and before leaving, he reminded the manager to get an estimate of the cost of television and air conditioner installation. He also inquired about the young boy named Tomy, but after the record was checked, there was no child in the orphanage named Tomy. "Mom, you have been talking about this since we got out of the orphanage, what exactly did you two discuss?" Tristan asked, his tone filled with curiosity as to what made his mother so ecs
It was as if the days were going by very quickly, the meeting with the company ended successfully, but there were no conclusions on whether or not there'd be a partnership.He returned home that night to see that his mother had made a lot of changes to the third room upstairs, it had been repainted in his absence to a distinct purple color with illustrations of flowers and butterflies on the wall, but the work was not finished and Tristan assumed that it would be finished the next day. The bed has been replaced with a more sizeable one for a child Ariana's age, the chandelier was also changed to look more childlike with butterflies dangling from it, emitting colorful lights.There was also a vanity set with an oval-shaped mirror and a makeup kit, even though she was not sure how well Ariana knew about makeup, Tristan's mother added it to the renovation to teach her."Quite some work you did," Tristan remarked."I always wanted to have a room like this for your sister Tracy, it would
/Loading.../Clue one- Having been wiped off by the large body of water twice within ten years, this settlement remains crowded//Clue two- Of the poorest tribe among the indigenes//Clue three- ( Produce a bucket of milk) - ( Opposite of the truth) - ( The alphabet's alpha) - ( Before the alphabet's omega)/Goodluck host/"Is this some kind of joke?" Tristan asked with his eyes widened in shock."How's this supposed to help me? what the fuck is the opposite of the truth? and milk? how does that even help?" he ranted continuously but the system did not respond."It's confusing," he said, calming his nerves."System can you break it down?" /Breaking it down any further only reveals the answer to the puzzles, rather than doing that, the system could as well as give you the location right away/" That's what I asked for though, this is a hard puzzle, where do I even start? "/Focus on the task, sub-quest comes afterward/Tristan wasn't still settled, he concluded within himself that
"I couldn't stand it, why does life have to treat them unfairly, these are children," Tristan's mother sobbed sitting in the car, Harry had run out of words to say to stop her from crying but she wouldn't."Truth is, there is nothing more that can be done but to show them some love, their situations cannot be changed but they can be managed and that's what the orphanage had done, they seem happy," Harry said, unable to find any other word to say.While talking, Tristan came back into the car, seeing his mother crying was unsettling but he understood why, he felt bad that she had to be in this situation but it was not within his powers to control how she felt."They'll be fine," this was all Tristan said, his voice dripping with sympathy."I saw an ambulance leaving, what happened?" Harry inquired."Just an epileptic child that's all, she's fine though but they'll have to take her to the hospital for further examinations," Tristan answered." Sorry Mom, I know it's hard to watch that f
